Congratulations on your new baby girl gift set

Whew! That was alot of projects I hadn't posted in awhile...flashback from the past and now on to the present!

My younger sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in early February and named her Mikayla. I thought using Angel Landing's digital stamp sets called Alphabet Train and Toys on Wheels would be the perfect way to welcome the new baby.

The frame was bought at Walmart. I love using these frames - they are the perfect size! The frame came with its own matting, but I chose to create my own by using a cereal box (cut to size) and decorated it with patterned paper and used my square nesties to make the frames. One of the hardest part was to measure how far apart the frames should be and cut out the squares in the middle - it was hard to keep it in place!

The tedious part of this project was figuring out the size of the letters as well as cutting each and every one of them out. It was also difficult to attach the hemp twine underneath the wheels and figuring out spacing - as you can see, the letters came out a little crooked - oh well!!! I guess it kind of looks like it is being dragged so I guess it looks ok. The letters were colored with prismacolor pencils blended with baby oil and popped up. I also used a small piece of cotton ball for the bunny's tale on both the frame and the card.

Inspiration for the card was based on Card Patterns Sketch 106. I just used a scrap piece of scalloped square from the frame, cut out a circle in the middle and placed patterned paper in its place. I did some stitching on the patterned paper (although I still need practice sewing - LOL). I think the card turned out so adorable, don't ya think?

This project was inspired by this one that I created for the Angel's Landing DT.

Back in the Saddle Again...

Hello Everyone! Boy, it's been ages since I last paid attention to my blog. I thought I would post some projects I have made while behind the scenes way back from last year that I never posted here. So, let's go back to where I left off...shall we?

 

So that is it for end of year school projects from 2010...Don't go yet, there is more!

Angels Landing Gift Tile Coaster Gift Set

Whew! I forgot how tiring and cumbersome posting can be...I've got one more for yah!

I created a matching card for the tile coaster set I made way back when. Remember this? I created a gift set made up of 4 tile coasters using digital stamps. If you read through the post, you will find several links on just how to use digital stamps on tile coasters like the one I used. Good news is that the family finally moved in to their new house.

To make the card, I combined several sets from Angels Landing: flowers and leaves from Simply Flowers, cute bird from Aussie Animals and the background from Pierced Backgrounds. I love the look of scalloped edges so I used the biggest scalloped square Nestie to cut out the card. I topped it off with a sheer ribbon at the top and sponged Tim Holtz distressing inks around the edges (yes, I am still into vintage!). I printed 2 of the flowers and popped them up. I also added some glitter in the middle of the flowers to make them stand out a bit. I also popped up the little kookaburra bird (Judy - if you are reading this, please correct me if I wrong - teehee). I used prismacolored pencils blended with baby oil to color in the images. For the sentiment, I used the PTI set called Garden of Life.

Without further ado...tada!

My husband keeps telling me to wrap it up so he can give it to the family so I guess I better get a move on. Better late than never, right???

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a good one!

I'm Baaaacccckkkk! Another Thank You Gift Set...

I've been neglecting my blog again! Sheesh! This work thing is really bogging down my creativity. However, I do love my job. But I thought I would share since I finally formatted some photos in last day or so.

This is a gift set I made for a wonderful co-worker when I started back in October. Yes, it's been awhile, like I said. She has been a great support to me in helping me succeed with my job. We always have such fun when we train together or even just on the phone - LOVE YAH KAE. So, what better way to say thank you than to present her with an altered gift set - can you tell I LOVE making these? LOL. This is just like the one I created for my supervisor (you can see it here). I just love using wordart from Bethany. She has so much talent when she creates these wordart sets. I used the sentiment from the set called Old Testament WordArt pack. In case you have trouble reading the sentiment, it says:

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding; In all thy ways, acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Proverbs 3:5-6

Isn't this a great scripture? I thought it was such a fitting sentiment because that is exactly how I feel about my co-worker. She is a great mentor.

No real need to explain what I have done here...you can see for yourself!

On a sad note, I just recently read that Bethany will be closing down her wordart store at ScrapOrchard and she is discounting her sets to 50% off! Click here to read her post and to get those wonderful sets while they are on sale. Luckily, she isn't completely shutting down her business, just moving location, but she said it might be awhile before it gets transferred over to the new store site.

I have one more post so don't go just yet!!!
